1066 health and safety

Heard on the radio today that a re enactment of The battle of Hastings was cancelled due to the fact it was to muddy ( camperjam take note ) its a pity they didnt have Health an safety in 1066 , how different things could have turned out , instead of one in the eye for Harold it could have been look out ,mind what you are doing with that sharp stick , you could have someones eye out

 

Re-enactment of the battle of Hastings? Do they fire arrows at each other?

 

yep nutters down ear ya no ;D

 

Using real weapons would certainly help with regards to authenticity, as would rubbish medical care afterwards.

 

nothing would suprize me in this day n age

 

I have a Long Bow, I can tell you that at between 20-20metres I've never tried further) mine has enough power for an arrow to penetrate Steel plate, now, even if you replaced the real heads for rubber, they could possibly kill, what do they use? I'm really intrigued now!

 

We use puddings on sticks round here
